This sleek, new and modern hotel is carved out of the remains of a centuries old structure. Glass fronted, loft style ceiling height, open bathroom and shower, light switches that are sensor controlled, Loewe toiletries, a huge bed and very very luxurious bed linen. Add to this the friendly Spanish staff and there is little more one could ask for bang in the heart of this eclectic city.

The hotel is situated on a very narrow street, barely wide enough for 1 car. It is surrounded by shops, restaurants, museums, and a short walk from the harbour and it is easy to find something to suit the tourist, the adventurer, or the local haunts seeker.

We just returned from staying 3 nights at this small luxury hotel. It was a pleasure from the moment we wallked in the door until we left. The hotel is built into the old walls of the Gothic quarter and the architect combined new and old in a stunning way. Ths overall ambience is extraordinary and we loved the feel of the hotel. We were upgraded to a junior suite which was quite spacious, a shame we could not use the balcony due to the weather. The staff could not have been more accomodating from the the tour they gave us when we arrived to a cup of coffee while we were checking out quite early in the morning. I loved the old streets around the hotel, and in truth it is easy to walk to almost anywhere from this location. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Bravo to the team there who are working hard to make this a very special place!

Room Tip: a junior suite with a balcony is a nice choice, particularly in good weather.

We have just completed a 4 day stay in Barcelona and were so pleased we chose this fabulous new hotel after hours of research. From the moment we arrived until we left, our experience at the Mercer was first class. We stayed in a Junior Suite and were thrilled to have our own gorgeous outdoor deck/garden area. Everything in the room was lovely (king size bed, bathroom and decor). The staff were so friendly, informative and professional, much more than staying at any of the larger chains. After exploring other areas of Barcelona, we were so glad we choose the Gothic Quater for great shopping (boutiques and one off shops) as well as the great dining options/tapas bars all within walking distance. We were very happy with the dining at the Mercer, including the breakfast and bar. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at the Mercer for making the end of our European trip most memorable. We will certainly return and recommend this hotel to all of our Australian friends and family.

A great 5 star experience in the middle of the Gothic quarter in the old town of Barcelona. The original Roman walls of the ancient city are actually part of the building and are visible inside. We did not eat dinner at the restaurant as there are numerous excellent places nearby that we wanted to try instead. Breakfast was of a very high standard. If you go, do not miss the rooftop terrace and the excellent tapas bar that is also part of the hotel.

The room (junior suite) was spacious enough, had a modern, minimalist interior of a very high standard. It is difficult to mention anything we did not like in fact - perhaps the lights and lamps in the room could be better arranged, but this is purely subjective. Also, this is a typical place for couples or families with older children, if you have small kids, I would look elsewhere.

At last but not at least : the staff was extremely helpful and genuinely very nice (barmen, waitresses, receptionists, everyone).

Thanks for a great weekend and keep up the good work!

Room Tip: Rooms with a view to the inner courtyard should all be great.

My Wife and I stayed for three nights as part of our joint 40th Birthday celebrations.I have traveled extensively for business including all the Hawaiian Islands and in many 5 Stars including Four Seasons.

Without Doubt this is the best hotel experience I have every had out of Hundreds of stays.

The location is perfect for exploring Gothic quarter and has a lovely Tapas bar the Bootleg next door where locals eat, always a good sign.

The architecture with Fresco's being restored as we stayed is awe inspiring mix of old and ultra modern.There is a awesome roof terrace with pool and the hotel with only 28 rooms feels intimate.

The staff are the friendliest I have encountered anywhere always willing to help and genuinely friendly day and night.

The food was wonderful amazing breakfasts in a unique courtyard and a great Tapas Bar as well as lovely dinners are available .

Highly recommend to couple looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay in Barcelona, we will be back !

Stayed thee nights at this hotel and loved it! Beautiful old building very tastefully restored with original roman stone walls blended with modern architecture. Rooms were beautiful as was the rooftop terrace and small pool. The breakfast was 10/10 and the dinner and choice if wines were excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive and just aimed to please with any request. The hotels location is fantastic - right in the middle of the gothic quarter near lots of little tapas bars and quaint shops.

Beautiful immaculately designed boutique hotel tucked away in historic Barcelona. Fabulous roman architectural features including frescos beautifully integrated with classical modern design. Staff were extremely attentive and warm. Food was exceptional, particularly breakfast which you should allow an hour for. We will definitely go back ... This is a hotel which is truly unique and perfect for a special occasion. Not the easiest to find so get directions before you go!

This architectural marvel is located in the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic quarter on mythic Calle Lledò, just a short distance from the Plaza de Sant Jaume. It not only represents the splendour of the old Julia Augusta Flaventina Paterna Colony, in what was then the Roman city of Barcino, but is also an archaeological gem that combines past and present, the monumental and the latest design. Now travellers can enjoy the greatest hotel comforts in the heart of old Barcelona, with exclusive views of the dome of the church of Santa María del Mar, the basilica of San Just i Pastor, and the cathedral....more less
